Sleeping & tummy trouble

I haven't read much of the sleeping book yet as it's a nightmare to even try when the little one is around as he grabs it and wants my constant attention, which I give him as i'm now thinking my days spending with him are numbered as work is getting closer, about 9 weeks left at home boohoo!

At the moment I have found he falls asleep in his jumperoo in the morning for about an hour so i can quickly get in a shower, chores or sometimes just me time although I tend to be straight on the computer writing this blog or checking if anything has happened with my business venture Fish4Clicks.

Since Ollie has been on solids he's had constant tummy troubles but lately it has gotten worse
 lasting a week or so, it's horrible to see him in pain straining, turning bright red and screaming the house down as it's to solid to pass. I think he is very scared to do it now so he tenses his whole body, I try and bend his legs but he is so strong and I don't want to force them incase I hurt him.
The health visitor advises more fluid, fruit and veg (don't you think I do that), it's a struggle to get him to drink water as he only likes baby milk so I increased the water in his milk as advised which did work the first time, also tried watered down orange juice, prune juice which again all worked the first time but hasn't since.  Off to the doctor I went yesterday and he's been given laxatives to dissolve in water (aggghhh it's difficult to get him to drink water) it's taken him approx 16 hours to drink 5 oz of it. Very frustrating so i'm just going to put it in his milk.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
